Over The Moon Antiques

This gorgeous little haven is a time machine back to the finery of the early 20^th Century decades. It is filled with authentic jewelry as well as costume jewelry from the period, as well as beautiful old hats and stoles, gloves, fascinators and knick-​knacks. The shop has that fantastic smell of old things, a mixture of dust, age and moth balls. You can spend hours looking at all the pieces in here, and admiring their craftsmanship.
The owner’s daughter is great to have a chat to when she’s in. We lament together how ‘people of our generation’ don’t appreciate antiques, and that they only like ‘vintage’ because it came into fashion. They don’t understand where it came from, what it symbolised in its time, and how differently most pieces were made to the way they’re made now. We should be wearing some of the stoles and old lady hats from the store and drinking tea while we have these types of conversation.
Whether you’re a true appreciator or not, this is a wonderful little gallery of the past to enjoy a trip into.
